My favorite night photos of Key West

Here are some of my favorite night images from Duval Street in Key West Florida.  This street is amazing (if you can look past all the drunk people).  After you are done watching the sun setting, this is the perfect street to take some night photos, from drag queens to neon lights its perfect.

I have been here many times but this is my best trip for photos yet, I spent 3 days taking pictures and you know, being a tourist. It was epic. I will continue to post photos from this epic trip.

Mile Marker 88

I took this at Mile Marker 88 on my way to Key West. This places is super cool, they have a nice pier/dock where you can sit and relax for hrs. The beach is really nice too and the beer is always cold. Remember to find your beach, I found mine at Marker 88.

Instituto San Carlos Jose Marti

Here is an amazing hidden gem in Key West, Florida. Instituto San Carlos. I received full permission to photograph the entire thing, but this room was my favorite.

“The San Carlos is one of Florida’s most beautiful and historic landmarks. It was founded in 1871 by Cuban exiles of Key West as an educational, civic, and patriotic center.

It was at the San Carlos that José Martí united the exile community in 1892 to launch the final phase of his campaign for Cuba’s independence. Martí so loved the San Carlos that he called it “La Casa Cuba”.

You can read more about it on their site www.institutosancarlos.org

Tropic Cinema Key West

Walking the streets of Key West you can easily miss the Tropic Cinema. Once the sun goes down the place comes alive, the neon lights and Marlin Monroe are hard to miss.

I was walking around at night trying to find cool stuff to shoot when this I saw the neon lights out of the corner of my eye. I shot this hand held at blue hour but I went back with a tripod later that night and re-shot it. I like this one better.

Camera settings: 1/100 f3.5 ISO 400

Key West Sunset

Here is another beautiful sunset in Key West Florida. I was on my way in to the city and the sun was setting fast I had to pull over and swap lenses fast. I threw on my 70-200mm lens so I could compress the sun. (make it a bit bigger)

It was beautiful being out there to experience this amazing sunset. I can’t wait until the next one.

Camera settings:
1/250 f16 ISO 100 shot at 200mm
